Simona Valletta
I am currently a group leader at the University of Manchester, where my research interests include acute myeloid leukaemia, ageing and tumour microenvironment.
Before moving to Manchester, I worked at the University of Oxford as postdoc before and PI later. With more than 10 years’ experience in academia, I have been always happy to mentor junior colleagues who have approached me about my career along the way.
I am committed to mentoring women to find their voice and advance their career.
Mentoring areas:
- Career progression
- Transition to independence
- Work-life balance
- Visibility/building international profile
- Navigating conflict
- Leadership
- Networking
